The husband and I are looking at purchasing our very first RV. We've done quite a bit of research and know what we want. Mostly. We are looking at a travel trailer under 25' and 4800lbs. We just hit an RV show and walked through all the models which fit that description but have even more questions than previously and any input would be greatly appreciated.
We've seen both horror stories and great reviews about the models we are interested in. If these units are made at the same factory and with the same materials then what accounts for the differences in quality/durability? Different brands have different quality assurance processes? we are worried about sinking a lot of cash into something that depreciates so quickly upon first use and will most likely end up leaking after a year or two (if the stories are to be believed ).
We don't mind paying for quality, but it seems as if that can only be done by buying an Oliver or Airstream (we've seen the fewest complaints on these brands). Am I living in a selectively Google bubble? Is there a reliable place to find reviews? Should we just rent? How did YOU first get into RVing? Thanks!
